Jewish Culture Personalities in Transylvania. Survivors of Holocaust: Egon Marc Lövith

Summary/Abstract: Egon Marc Lövith was a sculptor and a painter born in Cluj, in 1923. He was deported during the Second World War to the camp of Dachau. This space became a crucial reference point of his life that cannot be avoided. In the camp, being ill, was separated in the “Death Barrack”, after he lost his parents and sister. He broke out at a certain point and he returned to the camp after a while to see of someone is still alive but in the meantime the camps were left but the German troops despaired by the Americans. Now he found Margot, a 20 years young woman who became his wife right there in the camp. In 1945 they returned to Cluj and Egon Marc Lövith continued his studies and became professor at the Academy of Painting and also an artist. His pieces were exhibited in Romania, Hungary, Israel, United States, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany beginning with 1969. His works (Maternity, Birds, Holocaust series etc.) did not neglect the camp experience and consequences of war; they are not optimistic or full of charm but the so-called “fall” means ascension within art.
